| Summary: | Since 2000, collaborative studies for applying NAA have
been performed through the Forum for Nuclear Cooperation
in Asia (FNCA) sponsored by the Japanese Government.
White rice is a main food for Asians and thus was
selected as a common target sample for a collaborative
study in 2008. Seven Asian countries including China,
Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand,
are greatly concerned about the composition of
arsenic, heavy metals, and essential trace elements and
took part in this study. Rice samples were purchased and
prepared by following a protocol that had been proposed
for this study. Samples were analyzed by their own NAA
systems. In each country, more than 10 elements were
examined and the results were compared. These data will
be very useful in the monitoring of the levels of food
contamination and to evaluate the nutritional status for
people living in Asia. |
